Had a phone interview first to make sure I understood the role and talked about salary. Then a Zoom interview where I talked about myself and how I solve problems. The final Zoom interview was about time management and how I'd troubleshoot artist issues.

It went pretty fast, about a month from the first interview to starting work. I had one main phone interview with the production supervisors and talked to the recruiter a couple of times. They mainly asked about my reel, resume, and experience with things listed in the job description.
